Biography

James Manwaring's research focuses on criminal law theory, with a particular emphasis on incapacity doctrines such as infancy and insanity. His doctoral work extensively examines capacity-inflected dimensions of defences and offence elements, making significant contributions to understanding self-defence, complicity, and homicide in the context of criminal law. He has published in several renowned journals, including the Criminal Law Review, Criminal Law Philosophy, Cambridge Law Journal, and the Singapore Journal of Legal Studies. In addition to his research, he teaches tort law as part of the Tripos at Homerton College. His academic interests also extend to legal moral philosophy and law reform.
